 | By "Smartphone"\"Tablet" we mean Phones like the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, i.e. anything with a mobile data connection and a web browser. This also means tablets like the Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy Note\Tab and Google Nexus will work too. |
More Information

| The instructions below are meant as a rough guide to the process and the steps below were correct at time of writing (Nov 2013). |
 | Depending on the spec of the camera on your smartphone\tablet these images can be quite large. It is therefore important that you either have enough data on your plan to accommodate this or that you are connected to WIFI. |
